Can't Have It All Lyrics

Can't Have It All by Ashlee Simpson

Can't Have It All
Maybe it's just that we meddled under false terms
Or maybe the you now versus playing jokes on love
Trying to keep my light on
Trying to keep me light on
But you oh boy did you know

I got my feet on the ground
You would not know me now
Gotta keep my world in check
Leave me when I say it's over
'Cause I know I know I know

I tried but I can't fake it
I see you coming but I know I can't take it
I do cover in all those phases
Been here before you should've know
You can't have it all

Looking back now, I can see it
Made some mistakes
Apologizing when you were wrong
Then paying for your place
Cut my heart open, I lay it all
Now I change the lost you know
I got my feet on the ground
You would not know me now
Gotta keep my world in check
Leave me when I say it's over
'Cause I know I know I know

I tried but I can't fake it
I see you coming but I know I can't take it
I do cover in all those phases
Been here before you should've know
You can't have it all

Been here before you should've know
You can't have it all
Oh you know you left me sideways
I'm done with all your hi's and your bye's babe
Sometimes the stars don't light and it's okay
Yeah we're broken and oh you can't take it

I tried but I can't fake it
I see you coming but I know I can't take it
I do cover in all those phases
Been here before you should've know
You can't have it all
